How We Secure Austin

Unique Austin Challenges

Austin is facing growing security concerns with a noticeable rise in violent and property crimes. According to recent data, Austin saw a 14% increase in violent crime from 2022 to 2023, with over 4,900 reported incidents last year. Property crime remains a major issue, with burglaries, theft, and vehicle break-ins surging by 18%. In particular, car thefts have skyrocketed by 30%, making Austin one of the top cities in Texas for auto-related crime.


  • Rising Property Crime – Businesses and homeowners in Austin are experiencing a surge in property-related offenses, including burglary, vandalism, and theft. Popular areas such as Downtown Austin, South Congress, and The Domain frequently report break-ins and property damage.
  • Violent Crime Hotspots – Assaults and other violent crimes have been increasing in high-traffic locations, including Sixth Street, East Riverside, and areas near the University of Texas. These crime hotspots pose safety risks for residents and visitors alike.

Combining security guards with surveillance systems offers maximum protection.
